Chapter 554: The Dust Has Settled

The flowers bloom two and each show a branch, and say that Huainan matter.

Yang Weizhong defended the Lujiang River, although the latter was a small county, it was operated by the Song army for a long time, and the city defense was also strong. In this way, Yang Weizhong's headquarters was only five or six thousand, and he joined part of the former Huainan Southern Song Army, with a total strength of less than 10,000 people, and he had to divide a part to defend Shuzhou, Qizhou, etc. - in essence, with the original Huainan Song Song Army, there were only five or six thousand people in Lujiang City, and it was also necessary to rely on strong city defenses to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of Liangshan troops at Xiachao Gai.

Even after the city wall was blown down, the western army did not retreat, and every time the Liangshan army retreated at the gap, it suffered from the lack of people. The situation is like the battle situation in Jinling City in Jiangning Prefecture, which is increasingly biased towards the attacking side.

Yang Weizhong can only appear on the front line to boost the morale of the defenders, his own martial arts are strong, and he is surrounded by pro-soldiers, so his safety is guaranteed. But the problem is that he often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet, and the turning point of the Lujiang offensive and defensive battle is that he was injured and shot in the neck by a stray arrow.

Although he was lucky to be blocked by the silk collar, the injury was doomed and serious.

If the main general is injured, how can the morale of the soldiers be maintained? His son-in-law Chen You immediately got angry. What's more, the doctors in the army have limited medical skills, so Yang Weizhong still sent them to the famous counties of Dacheng for treatment as soon as possible.

In this way, when the Mu Hong and Muchun brothers had already entered the outside of Tongcheng, the defenders of Lujiang suddenly broke through at night.

In this battle of the Lujiang River, the Liangshan army was useless and locked the city. Gai because Chao Gai was going to destroy the defenders of the city. The land west of the Lujiang River seems to have a large area of land, but in fact, there are mountains and mountains. From Luzhou to the south of the river, the official road is through the Lujiang River. There is no place here, and Chao Gai does not dare to send troops to attack Shuzhou and other places. You must know that when he hit Lujiang, there was still Liu Guangguo's ministry stationed in Jiangzhou City.

Yang Weizhong was seriously injured, and Chen You was his deputy general in the army, so it was logical for him to take over the command. After communicating with the generals, the military strategy of the transfer was also smoothly recognized by everyone.

When it suddenly broke through to the south in the night, the reaction of the Liangshan army was also very fast, and the army was dispatched to intercept some of the western army, and the retreating western army in the dark night was like a soft-footed shrimp with scattered cartilage, and it became as if it was vulnerable.

However, Chao Gai and others fell for Chen You's Li Dai Taozhuang's plan, and mistook a dead soldier for Yang Weizhong, but Chen You took the real Yang Weizhong and took the opportunity to escape from life.

That Chen You's ability to make a name for himself in the army is by no means all dependent on the face of his father-in-law. In that dark night, I saw the Liangshan army gathered one by one, and the sound of killing continued in all directions, while the western army was first bold, and in the night, it was even more confused, its combat strength was greatly reduced, and its own soldiers suffered heavy casualties. When he tried to return to the city, the back road was cut off. I was ruthless in my heart: "Straight lady thief, the back road is cut off, grandpa and kill the front!" So while sending his henchmen to fight Yang Weizhong's banner and attract the Liangshan army, he brought hundreds of his own soldiers and rushed forward desperately. The Liangshan army was dispatched to besiege and kill the western army, but how could the forces be evenly distributed in the dark night? It is also the sky that does not destroy him, Chen You's choice of this direction, there are not many interceptions in front of him, and he broke through the defense line after a while. At that time, there was a scuffle in the night, and the general did not know, he led hundreds of soldiers to hurry for a while, and saw that the road in front of him suddenly opened up, but it was a military village at the end of the tower in front of him.

Chen You was overjoyed, and no matter how many soldiers there were around him, he just rushed to kill him. And the iron lock on the door of the military village was not falling, but it was just a false cover, and the guards in the military village suddenly saw a group of people and horses killing them, and they had already been in chaos, and they were not closed yet, and they were hugged by Chen You.

It was one of the many military villages set up by the Liangshan Army outside Lujiang City, which was guarded by Sun Xin. But at that time, Sun Xin had already led troops to kill the generals, not to mention the emptiness in the military village, and there was no one to lead, only a few soldiers left. Where did you think it would be an enemy army? Naturally, they were all shocked. In the dark, I don't know how many Chen Youjun there are, and I don't know how the battle situation is intertwined, how this enemy army got here, and it's strange that it can hold the military village in fear.

Chen You didn't stop for a moment, and only took some military horses from there. But it also showed traces, and Sun Li was even more annoyed, and Sun Xin was ashamed. The two brothers were in hot pursuit.

In such a battle, there were nearly 4,000 soldiers in the western army in the city, but they also lost seventy-seven, eighty-eight. Only captured the Liangshan army and captured no less than 2,000, which was by no means what Wang Xiaozhong thought, 'just heavy losses, not the annihilation of the whole army'. When Yang Weizhong's remnants fled to the top of the big gourd in Luochang Town, there were only three or five hundred remnants left. Later, Sun Li led the pursuers to kill.

I am outnumbered, I am victorious and defeated, how can Sun Li be willing to see the remnants of the Western Army escape? asked Sun Xin to lead hundreds of people to forcibly march to outflank him from the side, and the border governor led the army to cover the past.

That Yang Weizhong's subordinate Pan Da is commanding the army and fighting and walking, suddenly Sun Xin killed from the flank, and suddenly there was chaos, Panda was still free to fight to the death, Sun Li next to him looked carefully, opened his bow and arrows, and with a bang, he hit the temple, and the person fell off the horse and was trampled into meat in the chaos.

The sick lieutenant made meritorious service with one arrow later, and his heart was very happy, so he wanted to pull his bow and put on the second arrow, aiming at Chen You to shoot. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the wind, Sun Li was an orthodox military general, and he had always been alert on the battlefield, so he immediately turned his face sideways and saw that an arrow was passing by his ear, wiping his hair and sideburns, and he didn't know where to fly. When I looked up at the place where the arrow came from, I saw a general holding a carved bow, standing on the top of a hill a hundred steps behind him, with a large wooden character written on the banner behind him.

Sun Li started in Dengzhou, how do you know who Mu Hong is? was furious at the moment, and raising his hand was an arrow, which was easily dodged by Mu Hong.

Looking at his own military horses being resisted by a group of newly arrived Song troops, the leader of the group, wearing an iron helmet, sat on a five-flowered horse, holding a tiger-headed gun, and was shouting at the sergeant to come forward. Look at the people and horses of the back team, layer by layer. Sun Li was first timid in his heart.

His troops fought in the dark of night, and marched all the way to this place, not to mention the lack of people and horses, but also greatly reduced combat strength, and did not dare to fight hard with the enemy, so he shouted: "The whole army retreats, turn back to Luochang Town!" "Liang Shanjun left when he heard the order.

The Mu family brothers could also see that the combat strength of the Liangshan army on the opposite side was not at its peak, and they refused to let go of such a good opportunity, so they roared and screamed wildly, and rushed straight towards Sun Li with hundreds of card knife players.

After Sun Li broke his gun, he led his relatives to fight with him, and one of the Song generals flew out: "The thief will look at the knife!" Sun Li laughed, slapped the horse and killed, couldn't fight Sanhe, stabbed down the horse with a shot, Mu Chunce immediately stepped forward to catch Sun Li, still not Sanhe, was crossed by the sick lieutenant Chi a shot, hurriedly leaned over, the Hu armor ribbon on his back had already been broken, and the heart goggles fell to the ground, so frightened that he ran back to the horse. Sun Li won two generals in a row, and the Liangshan army roared with joy before and after.

Mu Hong, who was stronger, slashed and killed in the formation, but was sniped by the spear and sword. When the brigade of the Liangshan army relined the formation behind the back, Sun Li's side withdrew his troops back. At this moment, Mu Hong didn't dare to pursue.

Sun Li called the soldiers and horses to return to Luochang Town, but Sun Xin was still unhappy in his heart, and said: "Why should my brother be afraid of this group of soldiers? Seeing that their armor is difficult to complete, and the lineup is not complete, you know that they are a new army. Even if our army is a little tired, it can overcome them. ”

Sun Li had the heart to retreat, but his brother's face couldn't be ignored, so he couldn't care about the damage caused by forcibly killing his subordinate sergeants. At the moment, the battalions were called to line up and move forward, with the front sword players in the front, followed by strong bows and crossbows.

When it was within fifty steps of the Song army, suddenly the trumpets and drums in the Liangshan army formation were loud, and the sword hands in front were separated, showing hundreds of crossbowmen, and the arrows were fired in unison, causing the Song soldiers in the front team to fall countless times. The team was in chaos there, and the Liangshan army copied out from the two wings again, cut into the middle of the Song army, and immediately taught Mu Hongjun not to be confused. Mu Hong waved a big knife in the formation and slashed indiscriminately, his martial arts were indeed strong, so that the Liangshan army could not get close.

In the original work of the Water Margin, although he did not have any outstanding records, he killed the enemy and attacked the city, which had nothing to do with him. However, according to the twenty-fourth position, he was one of the eight hussars, and he was not convinced, mainly because there was a strong hand in the Earth Evil Star and the sick captain Chi Sun Li. What's more, Mu Hong and Mu Chun, the straw bale brother, have caused countless slanders, so that he himself has been underestimated by three points.

But I don't want to, this Mu family brother can be called the Jieyang Three Tyrants with Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Li Jun, Li Li, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng, if his martial arts are as unbearable as his brother Mu Chun - Xue Yong can easily put Mu Chun down, how can the Mu family brothers be able to rank with the other two tyrants?

There is such a passage in "Water Margin": "Too fair: "My son has a short life. He hath his own money to reward the seller of medicine, but what has he done to you! What are you going to do with him? But I knew that he had beaten and was not seriously injured. Just follow my mouth, and my brother will know. You eat people and beat him, is he willing to do it? ”

It can be seen from Taigong's words that Mu Chun himself is not strong, and every time he is bullied, in the end, Mu Hong went to find the field. The three tyrants of Jieyang Town, there are Li Jun and Li Li on Jieyang Ridge, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng are faintly followed; Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun in the Xunyang River, that is the sum of the strength of the two, only Mu Hong and the two brothers, and there are probably ** in ten out of ten who rely on Mu Chun alone. Yes, Mu Chun's ability should not be underestimated.

However, the generals under his command were too weak, and they were really killed miserably by the Liangshan army after chopping melons and vegetables. Mu Hong is a bold man, and he is still in conflict, but the soldiers he brought with him have already been killed. Mu Chun watched from behind and urgently called for someone to come to the rescue, but the team lost its spirit after all.

Ended up with a defeat and retreated.

Sun Xin let out a bad breath, and saw that the soldiers were really tired, where would they pursue. Sun Li saw that he was so happy to withdraw his troops, and first returned to Luochang Town to rest and recuperate.

The next Huainan war was smooth sailing. It's not that Cai Dezhang made preparations in advance, there were beacon towers along the coast, and countless fishermen acted as water warriors, and he even recruited a number of boats on the other side of the bank one step in advance, so that Huainan's Liangshan army was in an embarrassment, and Chao Gai was afraid that he would really march to Jiangzhou.

The Liangshan army was not near the river earlier, but now it can be said that there is neither a naval army nor a ferry. Even if there are some boats in Chaohu Lake, they can only enter the Yangtze River through the mouth of the Whiskers, but they are located downstream. In this winter season, when the east wind is gone, it is both against the wind and against the water.

When the first division of the Song Army returned to Jiujiang, all this was completely settled.
